Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in New York University’s Wilf Family Department of Politics.

My research lies at the intersection of international political economy, comparative politics and historical political economy. In my work, I combine quantitative methods and historical data to study the political consequences of economic integration and trade shocks in the developing world. My dissertation studies how three moments of globalization—the first era of globalization, the interwar deglobalization, and the Washington Consensus era—contributed to regime change and democratization in Latin America.

Before joining NYU, I received an MA in Social Sciences from the Juan March-Carlos III Institute, and a BA in Economics from Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE).
